Stacey Solomon isn't in a rush to marry Joe Swash.

The 27-year-old television personality says the couple are trying to be "really sensible" for the sake of their children - who they both have with former partners - and sees no reason to hurry down the aisle.

She said: "I know this sounds really ridiculous and probably boring but we're just trying to be really sensible. Because he's got a little boy and I've got two boys, we just want to take our time and make sure they're super happy and comfortable and we want to do it properly because we do actually like each other, a lot.

"We want to stay together for a long time and I think the key to that is to really know what you're doing and take your time with it and be sensible. We've both been head over heels and both gone with the wind [before] but we really value our relationship, we want it to be perfect so that it's forever."

And Stacey is very open about her relationship with Joe when she appears on 'Loose Women' but she does check if she's ok to talk about certain things before she opens up to the panel.

She told The Sun Online: "Sometimes, even silly little comments can offend people but I'm on there to do a job and I feel like I've got a moral obligation to speak up about certain things and stuff that is difficult to talk about.

"Sometimes if I do feel like maybe it's a step too far I'll speak to Joe and say 'do you mind if I say this?' and he will either say yes or no, but he's usually really good about it. He says 'look, it's your job and I appreciate where you're coming from and I think you should say it' and he's really supportive actually."
